This book was released on 2015 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of the study is to investigate the interactive effects of principal's leadership styles (INTELS) Principal Transformational Leadership Style (PTLS) and Principal Strategic Leadership Style (PSLS)] and Quality Assurance Initiatives (QAI) on Teacher Commitment (TC) in the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in Southern Thailand. The study also attempted to measure the strength of mediating variable, quality assurance initiatives on the relationship between principal leadership styles and teacher commitments in the schools concerned. As the study was a quantitative in nature, the sample size was 553 (95% confidence interval and ± 4%) represented by Muslim teachers from the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in three provinces (Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat), in Southern Thailand. This study utilized the two-steps analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques. The first four research questions were addressed by analyzing all four measurement models and the study found that the proposed constructs namely PTLS, PSLS, QAI and TC items were loaded significantly into their respective constructs. In the next step of SEM technique, the fifth and sixth research questions were addressed by evaluating and re-specifying the hypothesized model. The results indicated that the re-specified model was very encouraging with the values of X2/df = 2.684, TLI = 893, CFI = .901, GFI = .850, IFI = .90 and RMSEA = .054. From the re-specified model of the study, it was found that PTLS and PSLS factors influenced TC. The model also revealed that only two factors of PTLS, namely visionary (V) and individual orientation (IO) directly influenced TC and four factors of PSLS, namely wisdom (WD), strategic orientation (SO), strategic competence (SC) and strategic translation (ST) directly influenced TC. As for the research questions number 7, 8 and 9, the study proved that the mediating variable, QAI did not significantly influence the relationships between PTLS and PSLS with TC. Finally, the study managed to prove that the hypothesized model fit to the data and hence represent the model of the study. Some of the practical implications are that some aspects of the PTLS and PSLS are deemed important to the principals of the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in Southern Thailand and to the policy makers concerned in their strategies to improve the survivability of the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in Southern Thailand. Theoretically, the study managed to contribute to the literature in terms of the need of the principals of the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in Southern Thailand to practice some factors of PTLS and PSLS for the betterment of the schools concerned. The novelty of the study indeed related to the modern strategies that can be used effectively in improving the Islamic Private Secondary Schools in southern Thailand particularly the PTLS and PSLS.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between principals' transformational leadership and teachers' motivation as perceived by teachers in the context of Islamic private schools in Songkhla, Southern Thailand. This study also investigates whether teachers' demographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status, and years of teaching experience, impact their perceptions toward principals' transformational leadership practices. The study uses survey questionnaire to collect data and analyzes the data using descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and one way ANOVA. The respondents are 174 teachers from six selected Islamic private schools in Songkhla. The findings indicate that teachers perceive their principals exhibited transformational leadership more frequently than transactional leadership. Idealized influence (IIB & IIA) and inspirational motivation (IM) are found to be the greatest leadership practices among the principals, and individual consideration (IC) and intellectual stimulation (IS) are rated lowest among transformational leadership aspects. The results of the regression analysis indicate that teachers' motivation is significantly related to principals' transformational leadership practices. The findings demonstrate that individual consideration factor (IC) highly affect all dimensions of teachers' motivation, including attitude towards work, commitment/effort, challenge, and professional development; inspirational motivation behaviour (IM) impact on increasing teachers' positive attitude towards work, commitment or effort to teach, and challenge, and the idealized influence (IIA and IIB) are relative to teachers' attitude towards teaching, effort or commitment, and professional development. However, no significant relationship between principals' intellectual stimulation (IS) factor and teachers' motivation is found in this study. The findings from one way ANOVA reveal gender, marital status, and age of teachers effect their perceptions toward the principals' transformational leadership practices. Single, female teachers aged between 30 to 45 years old view principals displaying more transformational leadership than do the other groups. Based on these findings, implications are that current emphasis on transformational leadership for school effectiveness, improving teachers' motivation and increasing students' achievement are moving toward the right direction, which authorities should give more support, especially to intellectual stimulation and individual consideration aspects of principals.

Pearson{u2019}s correlation coefficients and Multiple Regression Analysis were carried out to find to what degree transformational leadership predicts their teachers{u2019} job satisfaction, while personal factors were studied as a dummy variable. This study was carried out for secondary school teachers teaching in the Chukha district, Bhutan, where the secondary school teachers{u2019} perceptions and judgments were used as the basis for these study findings. The sample group consisted of 227 teachers from a total population of 527. Taro Yamane formula was applied to determine the sample size. This study was carried out employing a quantitative approach through survey questionnaires. The school principals{u2019} transformational leadership behaviors were analyzed based on the concept of Bass and Avolio, and the level of secondary school teachers{u2019} job satisfaction was determined through Herzberg{u2019}s Two-Factor Theory. The findings indicated that the school principals in the Chukha district behaved with a high degree of transformational leadership satisfaction as perceived by the secondary school teachers, and the secondary school teachers were found to be highly satisfied with their work. The results also indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between the principals{u2019} transformational leadership and the level of secondary school teachers{u2019} job satisfaction. Further, it also revealed that transformational leadership was the lone predictive factor that can predict teachers{u2019} job satisfaction, while the personal factors were shown as insignificant except in the case with masters degree graduates, which was shown to be significant. This finding will be useful to the policymaker at both the school and ministry level, so that they can excel leadership qualities for the school principals and increase the level of job satisfaction of secondary school teachers. This should prevent job dissatisfaction and lead to a better quality of education in Bhutan.

Data obtained from each of the research instruments was then statistically analysed (descriptive statistics, correlation and ANOVA) using SPSS version 14. Descriptive statistics showed that the English teachers at the three selected national secondary schools exhibited clearly the six leadership styles. ANOVA indicates that there are five significant differences and one insignificant difference between all three national secondary schools with regard to the teachers' practice of leadership styles. The correlation results showed the relationship among the six leadership styles practised by the teachers and the relationship between teachers' leadership styles with students' academic achievement are mostly significant. This study therefore adds a new dimension to the body of literature that will help researchers' efforts to understand the relationship between teachers' leadership styles and students' academic achievement.
